Lifestyle Missing Codes Patch

Description
This patch was made to offer compatibility for LifeStyle: Hobbies with my Skill Tapes Missing Codes mod that is required for the following Skill Tapes Series:

Skill Tapes: Blacksmith
SKill Tapes: Butchering
Skill Tapes: Glassmaking
Skill Tapes: Husbandry
Skill Tapes: Tracking

Combat Tapes

This issue is that my Skill Tapes Missing Codes makes adjustments to a particular file in order to enable the short codes for these new skills, as the Devs have not made any related VHS themselves, ans so they as yet do not exist.

Lifestyle: Hobbies removes this file, and replaces it with it's own version. In doing so, it negates the changes made by Skill Tapes Missing Codes, breaking the above Skill Tapes Series. Additionally, it causes a serious issue in that, if you do not lhave the Skill Tapes Missing Codes mod ABOVE Lifestyle: Hobbies in the load order, it will crash your game once. Closing the game, and reloading will let one play fine, but it's still kinda jank. Please be sure to have Skill Tapes Missing Codes higher than Lifestyle: Hobbies in your load order to avoid this issue.

In order to reincorporate the changes made by Skill Tapes Missing Codes, and get above mentioned Skill Tapes Series working again, I have had to make this patch. This patch flags both Skill Tapes Missing Codes, and Lifestyle: Hobbies as dependancies in order to make sure every thing works correctly.

@ramabbot - Like I said, that's displaying the "required" section of the modinfo. I listed them alphabetically, so the popup does the same. I could switch them over in the modinfo file, and they will reverse in the pop-up - but it's not meant to imply mod order..

I know the patch shows red if loaded first, coz the other two are dependancies, and have the required= set and Skill Tapes Missing Codes shows as orange if it is loaded after Lifestyle: Hobbies coz it has the loadModBefore = set.

The main issue is this though: if one does not check the mod order, one can still hit "accept" regardless. This will cause issues, and hang the game. As I said, it's down to the devs to fix their mod loader system

I think the load after is working as you intended. The patch turns red or yellow if you try to load it before the other two. Its only the text that appears when you hover your mouse over this patch that is a little confusing. It displays that the load order is Lifestyle, Missing Codes, then this patch. Wasn't sure if that text was something added by the game or yourself?

@ramabbot - I think I see what you are getting at. I listed the required mods alphabetically, but if I swap them around, it should add them in the new order - but the game will still add this patch first, coz it's the mod clicked on.

Ideally it should be loaded after both Lifestyle: Hobbies and Skill Tapes: Missing Codes but even if I add were to add loadModAfter= directions, this patch will still appear in the mod list before them both.

One could then clicking "auto" which will reorder the mods so this patch comes after the other two, but it also incorrectly puts Missing Codes after Lifestlye when you do...

Nothing I can do about that - the issue is down to the devs mod loader

When in the MOD menu the "hover" load order text has Lifestyles listed first. The mod doesn't change color with the Mod order listed in your comment, only the load order text has hobbies mod listed first.
